The competition aims to inspire young people across Scotland to use their creativity to design thought-provoking work that raises awareness of racism and promotes an anti-racist message.
This year's theme was 'The Power of Our Voice'.

"This year, we have seen some truly inspirational work, and our judges faced some really difficult decisions deciding upon our overall winners.
"I want to thank everyone who took part in this year's competition; we never cease to be amazed by the young people who get involved and their willingness to learn and want a more caring and inclusive Scotland."
